Emmylee - I'm having trouble with Amelia sleeping again now so really not one to ask for advice lol. Hope he starts letting you get some sleep soon though.

Just ordered myself some clothes, only a few plain things but now hopefully I'll atleast have a pair of jeans which I don't have to hold up constantly to stop my bum falling out Amelia doesn't look like she's even considering sleeping tonight... wonderful x

Dennie is still trying not to sleep... keeps throwing his arms up in the air and looking shocked that its woken him up lol
I hope he settles properly soon... i'm going to fall asleep before him at this rate!

Dennie is having 6oz now but wants more from 8pm! must be so that he can sleep for longer... or he's just creedy!

I have noticed that if he doesnt get a good settled sleep in the morning between 9 and 12 he is screwed up for the day!
He wakes up about 7.30 and falls asleep in the buggy when taking leah to school and sleep till about 12. then he is happy as larry for the rest of the day and sleeps wells of a night. but if he doesnt get that sleep then I have this nightmare of trying to get him to settle.

they are only a few weeks old tho... leah didnt get into a propper routine until she was 11wks!!!

Lol Amelia does that, it cracks me up.

I've got a really bad headache, not sure if it's the pill or the antidepressants but something is making me feel like utter s*** :\ x

yeah i know she was so tiny at birth, 6lb 14oz, but she looked smaller and in 7 weeks she's now 11lb 7oz, its crazy lol

Lola does that sometimes as she's drifting off to sleep her arms leap up and she looks around lol its so cute

I wish i could get into a sleep routine. Lola's not the problem lol its me. She's fast asleep since 11 and will be till about half 7. But me i cant sleep titl about 2am

Laura hope your headache goes. Its prob a mix of the two tablets givin you headache. Its a side affect of both of them.

Hi,

Yeah the pics of Josh were huge, didn't know how to make them smaller lol.

Laura, congrats on Ryan passing his test. We were meant to get Barry insured on the car this month as mine is being renewed but we can't afford it. We're in the red in both our banks and silly us booked a holiday for the summer. We booked it before everyrthing happened with Josh and we were guna be fine with money but Barry has had so much time off work that we are skint. =( Oh well.

Josh slept from 7pm last night till 2.30am. But I had to cuddle him until 9pm when we went to bed. He took 6oz at 2.30 then slept till 7.30 when he took another 6oz. He was asleep again by 3am though, it took me 30mins to change him, feed him 6oz and get him back off to sleep =) But then at 7.30 this morning he refused to sleep again so ended up in with me (someting I swore I'd never do but at least I got ot lie down, I didn't sleep but was better than sitting up lol.) I then put him in his moses basket at 9 and he's still asleep now.

Cannot wait for the weekend, get a bit of help off Barry. Oh and we have an appointment with the doctor who delivered Jpsh, it's for some form of councelling. I bet I cry!!! x

Sydnie - Thanks Yeah Ryan has a driving licence and a car sorted now but can't even nearly afford the insurance The cheapest he's found is £6000. If he goes with the AA it's £10000!

Oh glad you have an appointment with the doctor, hopefully that will help you to deal with what happened

Amelia was such hard work last night. At 3.30am she was still awake, hadn't even nearly slept. Eventually I went and got my mum who managed to get her to sleep, then she woke up again at 4 something and wouldn't go back to sleep after her bottle I'm so knackered today.

How is everyone? xx

Went and got checked over today and got the pill cant take it till i come on tho but atleast I have it,

How was Devlin lastnight Emmylee? hope he slept well for you!!

I'm the same Jo! Dennie went off properly at about 12 lastnight but I was still up watching tv until about 1.30 / 2 for some reason! I just couldnt sleep

Ugh he was worse last night. Fed him at ten; he finished the whole bottle and still wanted more, so I had to get Zac to make another 2oz and bring it up for me! He had 1 out of that, so 6 overall! Got him down at 11, then he decided he had hiccups so had to cuddle him until he fell asleep and the hiccups went. Managed to get downstairs at 11:15. Went to bed at 1... he was up at 2 wanting a bottle! Then he decided he only wanted 3oz... back up at 4:30, tried to dummy him until I gave up and fed him at 4:45, got him down at 5... then up at 8. I was so tired, and my body was hurting and my nose was stuffy, so I gave in and asked Zac to get up with him so I could get some sleep!

He's now saying "I don't actually mind getting up with him" yeah right, lets see how long that lasts not like he's even offered for the last 8 weeks!! And all he does is change him and feed him his first bottle.. doesn't get him out of his bedclothes or play with him or anything so I think once I feel a bit better I'll be doing it all once more! He can't settle him at night either, nor does he put him in bed if he feeds him in the night... just leaves him on his chest which really pissed me off when I was trying to get him used to his basket. He hasn't ever done a full night. I've been running on 2-hour bursts of sleep since D was born!

Oh Em I bet you're knackered Amelia has been a nightmare recently, she doesn't go to sleep until 2-3am and then wakes up and hour later for a feed and then wont go back to sleep after. So I'm now getting about 2 hours sleep too

Went to view a flat today, it was really nice. It's literally right next to the supermarket and shops, a 3 minute walk to Ryan's college and about a 5 minute walk to the hospital, exactly what we need cos neither of us drive yet.

The rooms look a good enough size to fit all of our stuff in, it seemed nice and quiet and the rent isn't too bad compared to some of the others. I reallyyyy want it lol. It's available from the 7th February so we just need to sit down and work out if we can definitely afford it and I need to book an appointment with the council to talk to them about some stuff.

Gemma what pill are you going on? I've gone back on Mercilon but for some reason everytime I eat ANYTHING, no matter how small, it makes me feel sick. Atleast I assume it's the pill cos it's only started happening since I've been on it. Didn't used to have a problem with it though xx

Ahh ffs.. Ryan's mum wont talk to him properly because he went to look at the flat today. Great, that means she'll have the hump with me too. Ah it's pathetic. I can understand her not wanting him to leave but f****** hell he's nearly 19, she needs to get over it now

Hello ladies, how are we all doing?
I am knackered but enjoying being a Mummy a bit more now than I was before.
I may even venture out to do a shop today...we'll see though!

How are all the abaies doing?
Our wee man is doing great. There's a lot of trial and error invlved but I think we more or less have finally got the hang of looking after him!!

We had been worrying about overfeeding him coz he was polishing off 7oz each feed but he seems now to be back down to 5oz most feeds. Maybe it was just a growth spurt?

I am still trying to breatsfeed as well but it seem the antibiotics I was on have caused my milk to get less and less. I am currently expressing like mad and have been prescribed Motillium (for sick tummy normaly) to try and increase my milk.
I started taking it yesterday and I swear it has increased already!!

No he's worse

Put him down at 10, he woke at 1:30, put him down after he only had two oz and fell fast asleep at 2, woke at 4:30, had the rest of that bottle, then up at 5:30, 6, 6:30... and so on until 9 when Zac decided enough was enough. He settled every time with a dummy though. I'm knackered. He still wont sleep. Wondering if he might be teething

Evening All,

Awww Emmylee... sounds like he loves the comfort of mummy!
I hope he gets better soon for you!!

Dennie was like that, but whenever he falls alseep now I put him down, wont let anyone cuddle him for too long when he falls asleep. I know its mean but he was getting really clingy and it was getting so hard to get anything done!

He has slept quite alot today tho so hoping he sleeps well tonight!

Laura... how did it go about the flat!? Michael's mum was like that with us when we were looking for a house. I think its the mummy's boy thing. she is fine now tho... must admit, it did take awhile lol.

How are you today Jo?

Hi 1tstimemammy, glad you have got into a routine now and are enjoying it more!!!

My daughter has been a NIGHTMARE this weekend! Has taken me 3 days to get her to finish her homework! at to do it in little bits are she was having none of it!
Must admit... I didnt ant to do homework at 5... but thats not the point
